In "Singularities of theta divisors, and birational geometry of irregular varieties", Jour. AMS 10, 1 (1997), 243–258, L. Ein and R. Lazarsfeld provided a counterexample to Kollár's conjecture, i.e. an irregular 3-fold of general type of maximal Albanese dimension with Euler characteristic = 0. Their example can be trivially generalized to higher dimension.

My question is: are other counterexamples to Kollár's conjecture known? Where can I find them?

Thank you very much for the time dedicated to me Best regards

I just saw this question (better late than never). The following references come to mind (the first one has an example which somewhat improves on the example of Ein-Lazarsfeld, the others have a variety of related results):
